⁷ For he is our God,
and we are the people of his pasture,
the sheep under his care.^[a](A)
Today, if you hear his voice:^(B)

¹¹ He protects his flock like a shepherd;^(A)
he gathers the lambs in his arms
and carries them in the fold of his garment.
He gently leads those that are nursing.

¹⁰ They will not hunger or thirst,
the scorching heat or sun will not strike them;
for their compassionate one will guide them,
and lead them to springs.^(A)

⁴ He will stand and shepherd them^(A)
in the strength of the Lord,
in the majestic name of the Lord his God.
They will live securely,
for then his greatness will extend
to the ends of the earth.^(B)
